Extract

Of the ten species which have been referred to the genus Rhadinorhynchus four (pristis, horridus, tenuicornis and exilis) are considered valid members of that genus. Selkirki is considered a synonym of pristis. Katsuwonis is placed in a new genus, Nipporhynchus, and it is suggested that ornatus may possibly belong with it. Medius is transferred to the new genus Gorgorhynchus of which a new species, G. gibber, is made the type. Wheeleri and johni are both referred to the genus Aspersentis.
